Diana Ross Storms Out

Diva Diana Ross threw a supreme hissy fit at restaurant La Scala in Beverly Hills after she was not allowed to sit at a table until her daughter showed up. The tony Italian eatery has a policy of not seating incomplete parties unless someone has a reservation. According to witnesses, Ross arrived there for lunch Thursday afternoon ahead of her daughter. She then asked to be seated, but was denied. But Ross marched forth to a corner booth anyway. We’re told management then came over to explain their seating policy, and said that if she cut the line and sat before her daughter arrived, she would not be served. But Ross didn’t budge. Sources said that when her daughter arrived, a scene ensued and both women stormed out of the restaurant. La Scala owner Gigi Leon told us: “I’m sorry that Miss Ross had a problem with that and she feels that the rules didn’t apply to her. Our policy is that we don’t sit incomplete parties. If people jump the line, our policy is we don’t serve them, and she was told that. We treat everyone the same whether you’re famous or not. We love having her as a customer. We’d be happy to have her back.” A rep for Ross didn’t get back to us.

I co-sign with all; its about time that 'diva-tude' behavior is put in its place. Anon@843; most restaurants have that policy. It prevents complete parties that are already there from having to wait for a table to become available. Now if other celebrities can get checked....

it also depends on the capacity. if it was crowded then its understandable but if it was dead then they coulda just let her sit down. but she might have had a stank attitude to begin with. its hard to pick a side here.

Didn't Diana sprain an ankle or break a toe or something recently? Perhaps she cannot stand for a long time. Wasn't there a photo of her riding on a mobile chair in an airport? Didn't she wear that poofy Cinderella dress to the White House because she was sporting a cast underneath? Things are not always what they seem...

Glory be to God..Galatians 5:22-23 King James Version (KJV)... But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.*****************************************************Dian Ross-A.K.A. The Boss, calm down and stop throwing Diva Tantrums!

First, mostly ALL busy hip trendy hot restaurants have this policy. So what's the problem? Those of you saying its a crazy policy, yeah if all your use to is Red Lobster and Cheesecake Factory, then yes it's a crazy policy.

The Boss should've known better and her daughter should not have been traveling on CP time.

exactly @ 9:14. I would've sat at the bar and had me a drank. If there were other people waiting for a table, I would not have tried to jump in front of them as if my time/presence/money was more valuable to the restaurant than theirs. The eatery was right to stick to their policy.

And if they had bent the rules, the two Ross's probably wouldn't have tipped well anyway. If at all. They probably would've felt that their 'presence' or that giving the waiter/waitress 'the pleasure of serving them' would be plenty tip enough. Hah! Bish please. Get em outta here!

big hair, big mouth, big pussy, big career and big ego equals BIG DIVA. each and every one of you including this eatery needs to get over yourselves because MISS ROSS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BOSS and in her mind that's never going to change.

Ok, never mind being famous this woman is 60 plus which means she is elderly. I don't see why they couldn't bend the rules. I'm sure everywhere she goes people gawk and stare and she didn't want to be waiting in the waiting area.

i am thinking this also, if one of those white kids from twilight or betty white had showed up before there party would they have been seated without a party arriving ? stupid policy... and i dont blame rhonda, i wouldnt have stayed either they were mean to your momma...

famous or not, if a well-dressed 68 year old woman shows up at La Scala a few minutes ahead of her party, and if she is kind to the staff, then they would probably bend the rules and get her to a table where she could wait comfortably.

but nobody wants to go out of their way for a person with a disrespectful, nasty attitude.

what's the matter with her? at her age, she should be gracious and soft spoken, chatting with fans, signing autographs and doling out advice to the waiters, because you know half of them are trying to get into the entertainment business...

I bet if she was a more current/relevent celeb they would have seated her. That is muthaphukkin' DIANA 'THE BOSS' ROSS gatdammitttt!!! You think they would have made Donald Trump or Beyonce leave or not server them.....don't think so. I don't what they said.

11:26 Evan was cute in that movie he did with TI, but the rest of the time he is funny-looking IMO. Its because of the way he dresses and his weird-ass hairdos. Plus, the fact that it seems like he might find all the girls he dates in the same trailer park (you know what I mean?) makes him even less attractive. Like he has really bad taste or something.

@ Nicole (Brasilia!) said... Read excerpts from the Women of Motown book and other books. I don't like her either. ******************And to the person singing Ain't No Mountain High enough, I love that song, but I cringe everytime Diana sings it. Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell sang it better. Nice little rendition though.

I wonder if this policy would have still stood had it been Bill Clinton, Brad Pitt or Warren Buffet who had turned up instead - somehow i highly doubt it!

In London, Madonna has been known to walk into high end restaurants - reservation or no reservation and demand food that isn't even on the menu and has been accommodated. ***************************

Uh, them there is WHITE folks...She Whitey's you're speaking about. Of course they are "fine" with THEM getting better service than an old, aging star. That's what being white will get you. Sad actually, because Ross thinks she's white, but her being shown the door at that high end eatery showed her she's a Ni@@a..lol...
